This volume is partner to volume IV A in this "four-volume" work (there are actually six volumes; v.III is also published in separate parts A and B). While v.IV A deals with the concepts that form the basis for the clinical decision-making process and surgical strategy, v.IV B presents aspects of the author's experiences, over the course of 25 years, in the microsurgical treatment and management of 3,134 patients with intracranial extrinsic and intrinsic tumors. Thirty-two chapters are arranged in sections on general and special considerations; extrinsic (extra-axial) tumors; intrinsic tumors; interrelated disciplines; and surgical outcome and results. Elegantly produced and generously illustrated. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
